I just finished re assembling the tranny I wrote about in "First Gear Slips out". Hopefully tomorrow I'll close out that thread by reporting the tranny works well. But here is a different thread. Maybe I did it the hard way or maybe not but re attaching it to the tractor frame is not a happy experience. First I slid the frame over the trans and found out I can't lift the tranny with one hand while I insert bolts or even slide the two pilot bolts I made to help align the trans. Of course the frame rocks side to side while you try to manuover the trans. So I put the frame on jack stands just ahead that eliminated the rocking but now the frame is higher. Hum... then an idea the nylon ratcheting straps I use to hold things on my trailer. One pulls the trans unevenly so I used a pair under the trans up and over the frame (I tipped the seat pan back out of the way.) One at the front and one at the rear. Picking up a little at a time, one then the other I got it in place. wiggling it I was able to get the bolts in place. Was this a good way to get the job done? I ,mean If I had a gantry and a trans jack and ... but I don't so tell me how to do it better next time. But it is up and I didn't get hurt or break anything so it wasn't too bad.
